Res 2079 - Transportation Growth Management GrantCOUNCIL BILL NO. 3005
RESOLUTION NO. 2079
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR A TRANSPORTATION AND
GROWTH MANAGEMENT GRANT FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
WHEREAS, the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Department
of Land Conservation and Development jointly administer the Transportation
and Growth Management Grant (TGM) Program; and
WHEREAS, the TGM program is established to expand transportation
choices by linking land use and transportation planning with the end result of
creating vibrant, livable places in which people can walk, bike, take transit or
drive where they want to go; and
WHEREAS, jurisdictions are required to have Comprehensive Plans that
address 20 years of future growth and comply with the Statewide Planning
Goals and Guidelines. Woodburn last updated the Comprehensive Plan in 2005;
and
WHEREAS, a key component of the Comprehensive Plan is the
Transportation System Plan (TSP), which identifies needed transportation
improvements to accommodate projected growth. The TSP was also updated
with the 2005 Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, after several years of legal challenges, Woodburn's
Comprehensive Plan was finally acknowledged this past January 2016. The
resulting Comprehensive Plan is appreciably smaller (350 acres), including less
industrial and residentially zoned lands; and
WHEREAS, several major transportation improvements have been
completed since the TSP was last updated, including reconstruction of the 1-5
Interchange, major improvements to State Hwy 214 (Newberg Hwy) and
completion of the 1-5 Transit Center; and
WHEREAS, the current TSP assumes these projects have not been
completed, calling for other improvements to compensate and setting
limitations on development due to maximum trip caps throughout the
Interchange Management Area (IMA); and
